We are delighted to announce that we have become an Employee Owned Trust (EOT), meaning that High Speed Training is now wholly owned by our colleagues.

By embracing an employee-owned model, we hope to foster a culture of shared responsibility, collaboration, and long-term success, where each employee has a direct stake in the company’s performance and decision-making.

This follows on from the exciting news that High Speed Training has achieved B Corp certification, an accreditation from the global non-profit B Lab, which ensures that a business meets high standards of social and environmental impact, focusing on a company’s approach to its governance, customers, environment and communities. 

As High Speed Training has grown over the last 15 years, we have always focused on two key values – providing first-class training for our learners and guaranteeing security and opportunity for our colleagues. By becoming an Employee Owned Trust, we are ensuring that we can stand by both of these commitments effectively and sustainably.

As a registered B Corp, we are delighted to be moving to a business model that puts people before profits, that will allow us to run our organisation for the benefit of our learners and our employees, and help to secure our long term health.

Since 2008, we have certified over 2.5million learners. They, and all of our employees, are what make High Speed Training special, and this decision solidifies our commitment to supporting and empowering each and every one of them.

Carole Urey, CEO of High Speed Training
